This past weekend the Washington Press Association had it's annual dinner at the White House. CNN's Ed Henry won the top journalism award for White House reporting under deadline pressure. Here is cute clip of Betty Nguyen and TJ Holmes talking about Ed's win on Sunday morning's News Room.

On Wednesday's Situation Room, Wolf Blitzer ended his program noting that CNN senior political correspondent Candy Crowley was not on the program. Candy was awarded the New Hampshire Primary award. To read about Candy's award, click here. Hopefully part of the win was a well deserved day off.

I always enjoy Time Magazine’s edition of the Time’s 100. This year both Christiane Amanpour and John King contributed pieces for Alexis Sinduhije and Jeff Han respectively. Both are interesting reads. If you click on the name you can read what Christiane and John wrote.

Yesterday on our sister blog All Things Anderson, we recieved a request for the report Erica Hill filed for Election Center. Everyone happens to be in luck because I was able to clip it. Enjoy Erica and Campbell Brown discussing what really happens behind some of the shots we see from the campaign trail on Election StageCraft.

And tonight I end with a clip from Wednesday's American Morning. I am sure we have all gotten extemely busy in life and multitasking and hopefully we have someone to snap us into reality like Kyra Phillips does with John Roberts. At the end of Ali Velshi's extreme report, Kyra gives us the head's up on the currency of the Solomon Islands.....now where can I get me some dolphin teeth???

I don't get what CNN is trying to dowith Campbell Brown's program.Last night they lead with a story onArizona rethinking it's tough immigrationpolicies. That is exactly why I do notwatch CNN during Lou Dobbs. Enoughalready. I say this as a CNN fan whogrew up watching CNN and it is stillmy favorite news channel. Maybe aDigg format on CNN.com for viewersto vote on stories they want to seecovered the most in prime time andsubmit stories they think are importantand interesting to other viewers.I know it sounds radical but they need toreally fix the 8pm hour. Geez I see moreinternational news on Current TV thanon CNN these days.

The problem with Brown's show is the talking heads. Even BOR is smart enough to not havethe same people on talking about topics formost of a program. The Republican and Democratic pundits need to exit the stage.Along with the radio show hosts. I don'tneed to hear what these people have to sayon the issues Too much talk on no info.TV news needs get with the program andcome into the 21st century. i am thinkingabout starting a petition online to getCNN to stop giving the talking headstoo much air time. Where have all of thereporters gone?
